On July 19, Kumar inaugurated a month-long ‘Malmas Mela and in an interaction with the reporters here after the event, he said that the ruling BJP will be wiped out in the 2024 elections. He further cleared that he didn't attend the presser as he had to come back to Patna. Adding further, Kumar stressed his efforts to unite all opposition parties.
"I could not attend the press conference..."
“The meeting was very fruitful and we all are very happy with the outcome. I could not attend the press conference after the conclave as I had to come back to Patna.

After the opposition parties conclave, BJP leader Sushil Modi had claimed that Kumar returned to Patna without attending the press meet as he was “upset” over not being made the convenor of the alliance. In a stern reply, Kumar asked, "Who takes Sushil Modi seriously?" Bihar CM further reiterated that Modi does not have any ambition for himself.
“We are working to unify all non-BJP parties"
“We are working to unify all non-BJP parties ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The Patna opposition meet was attended by 16 parties and there were 26 parties in Bengaluru. Our numbers are increasing and the unity of the opposition parties is getting strengthened,” he said.
